Description: Begin by pedaling up Chamisoso Road. Follow the road (ignoring where 462 breaks off to the right). The Coyote Trail departs the road on the right side just before a gate. The Coyote Trail us usually well signed, but there are some confusing intersections to bring a map. It's easy to get kinda lost but hard to get totally lost as you're never far from a view of the Sandias to the North and Cedro Peak to the South. The Coyote Trail climbs and descends thorugh rocky pinion forest for about 5 miles before arriving at "four corners (the intersection of Coyote Trail and 462)." This makes a good out-and-back or a better return leg after climbing up 462.

Coyote is my favorite trail in the Cedro area. Lots of great options with any trail you choose, but I've had the most fun on coyote. It's a fun climb, with some technical stuff that will make you work, but it's even more fun to ride downhill.

Great ride with good variety. I thought I had started out going Counter-Clockwise until I noticed i was ascending west, and then came into the Jeep road. I turned around and enjoyed the sweet downhill. Some steep n' gnarly stuff with some whoopty-doo's - great ride.

This is a nice route to add some variety if you're tired of Otero. Coyote Trail is a nice out and back, but I like it better as a return leg after climbinb FS462. I don't generally recommend jeep roads, but 462 climbs at a good grade and has lots of rock slabs on the way up--just change the color of the rock and it would have a Moab feel to it. As I said in the ride descriptions, there are a few opportunities to go off course, so bring a map (or a local). Either that or be ready to spend time exploring and route finding--bring plenty of water.
